NO takexis backxis!
A trade is a trade is a trade.. Tell him that the phone is resting peacefully and it won't come back anymore (like a dead pet)

i told him that but he wont buldge the worst part he says he is goin to block the phone...so the person who has the phone is gonna suffer

yea...like he can block phones? What is he? the Prime Minister of UK?

Lol, you both agreed on a deal. Was the phone in perfect working order before you gave it to him? If so your safe. That is rediculous. You guys traded, and after HE breaks it, he wants his phone back.

yes it was in good condition but if he blocks the phone i'm screwed and thats my worry

Why would he even want to do that? I doubt the person would be willing to give a phone back that they bought/traded for. What exactly is wrong with it.

it doesnt have 3g...there is a touch screen problem and battery is bad

Uhm, it's the UK version, why would he expect 3g unless he's on T-Mobile? Why doesn't he try a hard reset, if that doesn't work reflash to original ROM. I always buy two batteries when I get a new phone... Never know when I might need one.

Still can reflash the original ROM. Maybe you could work something out, offer a partial refund of money even though you aren't obligated to do so.

no cuz the trade details were on the phone and the phone is sold

why is there security on the g1/android

lets say you have all you stuff all pass worded with the apps you got the lock screen up. even the contact owner app to tell you call or email some one. so you think ur fone is fully protected right. oh and you have your wheres my droid app....i find your fone and just wipe it. i got a new fone fresh os ready for me to sign up and use your service.
thats what i think if i lost my fone. so is there an app out dere that can prevent/password home+power my fone and so no one can sell/use it?
Not yet...but you could ask cyanogen to implement a password-protected wipe feature? Plus just call your carrier and tell them to disable your IMEI number...phone will become useless
It doesnt really matter if the person uses the stolen phone, if they cant they'll just chuck it. Either way you're left without a phone...

If i found a g1 that doesnt seem damaged, i would never just throw it away. I would either sell it to some idiot or if i feel like i want maybe return it.

If this was implemented and the hard-spl was still on the device then the recovery image could be replaced allowing password-free flashing again
there is app that allerts you if someone puts another SIM card in you phone and it does work I tried it. SIM card checker

Yeah, my point was that password protecting the phone so it can't be reflashed doesn't help the victim, they are still without a phone. Tbh it sounds like more trouble than good to password protect the SPL and recovery. What if you forgot the password yourself?
SIM card checker sounds good, but again that's useless unless it gives you some kind of information that could help you recovery the phone.
sorry to bump. but i wasnt home. okay so yeah we should have something to protect the recovery. also i would be happy, if a person went thru all that trouble to take my fone. thinking alright i can wipe it and sell it. then boom the recovery is pass worded. the sim checker app would not work. because they can just wipe your fone.
to the person. can i really call tmo and tell them my imei # to disable my fone?
so lets see, out of the million or so G1 owners in the US alone, how many of them actually know how to download, rename, and flash a rom? judging by the number of people who post ridiculous questions like "OMG I just renamed the rom i downloaded update.zip.zip and now it wont install! IS MY PHONE BRICKED?!", I'd venture to guess that not many people are going to go through all the trouble.
besides, this is why you have the 5.99/mo insurance on your 400 dollar cell phone, you know, in case you do something stupid, like losing it. that way, all you do is call up your provide, have it put into a lost/stolen suspension, and then talk to the insurance carrier and get a new one. I think the $50 deductible is a low price to pay for being an idiot if you happen to lose your phone.

My girl dropped her first G1 in the toilet and lost her replacement. Each time Asurion charged her $150 deductable.

I called TMO on her phone and told em it was a hardware issue: g1 just stop working....They had me troubleshoot, found i was still in warranty and sent me my replacement, absolutly free.
The warranty however doesnt cover water damage and she admited it was self inflicted thus, she was ineligible for warranty replacement and insurance was the only life saver.

lol...........................

Did anyone engrave their phone?

I just ordered my Nexus One at its exorbitant price of $529 and almost chose the engrave my phone feature but didnt really want to wait extra time and it won't be seen anyhow.... I was going to put 'iPhone Killa' and maybe 'F$%k Apple!'.....
Anyways, just wondering if you engraved your phone and what did you put?
i was going to put "touch me...thats what she said" (corny i kno) but reading through the disclaimers on the site, i decided not to
I was going to engrave it as well, but decided not to because of the non-refundable part.
Nope. I was thinking about selling my N1 in a year or so, and I didnt think the buyer would appreciate the engrave.
I almost did, but I bought mine on launch day and feared the engraving would delay my overnight shipment.
Come to find out, it's not an engraving, but a silk-screen type process... also doesn't delay the shipping of your phone.
Now that I have it, I'm glad I didn't do it.
I went for it. *shrug* It was free.

You think that there would actually be someone looking for a second hand year-or-two old phone that would actually pay more than the cost of SHIPPING for it? Not worth selling!
I purchased my N1 on Craigslist for $325.00 about a month ago. The reason it was so cheap? "Michael & Sasha - Always" was engraved on the back.
I personally don't care what the phone says on the back but I'm sure w few people will which means the phone will be harder to sell in the long run.

Or atleast take the phone back
anyways: i hear that the most didn't engrave it at the last minute. Is it because all of you plan to sell your nexus?
I got zKiLLA put on mine
There was a long ass thread dedicated to this back in early January when the phone was released... You're exactly 5 months late to the day.
well im sorry for the useless thread then, but I didn't buy my nexus one in january, i bought it in june
did not engrave incase i decided to re sell.. the nice thing about a no contract plan
wish i had gotten "not the droid you are looking for"
i think that wouldn't have hurt the resale

[Q] Odin3 One-Click Downloader - Is It Legal

Here is why I am asking......
All of a sudden my phone would not connect to my PC. SO I took it to the service dept for AT&T. I knew tihs was going to be a huge mistake.
The girl bricked my phone and told me I would need to buy a new one for $365! I was freaking out and scoured the web and found this site!
I dowloaded Odin3 and my phone is working great!
First I want to thank anyone and everyone for the knowledge to get my phone working.........this was a lifesaver!
After she bricked my phone, I bought a GO Phone for $20 to hold me over until I could fix it or get a new one.
If I was able to do this, why wasn't AT&T able to do this?
Before I call Customer Service and chew someone out I want to make sure this is something they should have been able to do.
Thanx for this site!

Nope, perfectly legal. I can't really see why it wouldn't be. The only reason they want you to buy a new one is because they are very greedy and will do anything to get your money. That's weird though, since usually they replace it for free if it's something like that
Mind you any damage that occurs to your phone while in a ATT representative is their responsibility, there for, they needed to replace. Given you where going to get a refurb probably xD. Odin is Samsung's own software. How ever it does void your warranty, In theory anyways.

Why? I'm pretty sure they'll know you're addressing them.

Well.......I did sign a waiver that they were not responsible if something did happen.
First I shouldn't have signed the waiver.........but the fact that I did......and was able to fix my own phone.....why didn't they fix it......
The phone was a refurb and I was willing to pay for another refurb but she told me I couldn't since it wasn't under warranty....
And my other issue......I work in support in IT.......I am responsible for getting a user working..........whether I fix it or replace it.

My experience with local ATT service is 80% of them don't know how to use android. They really DO NOT know what they are talking about half the time. And just pure lazy.... I don't know if ATT has Odin, or offers it to them. Even if they do it will be on the few tecs each office might have.

Warranty Replacement, Brand new phone! What to ship back?

Ok so in the past I've always gotten refurb's and was instructed to just send the phone back. Well as we all know the Note 3 comes with a few accessories that are not required to be sent back "battery, backdoor, stylus".. Well I have had one replacement already and it was a refurb that came in the white box and I sent my old one back while retaining my old hardware, no biggie.. Well this time around they sent me a brand new phone (i called and *****ed about 4.4.2 and it's issues) but I'm kind of at a stalemate with the return process.. Do I keep the new battery, backdoor, charger, usb cable, and stylus and just send my old phone by itself back..? That is what the instructions say to do but that would leave me with 2 of everything, and I don't want to get billed for keeping that stuff, but I'd also like to have a backup of everything lol.. I think the instructions think I was sent a refurb but I'm just inquiring to see what others have done in this situation.. Thanks..!!

Anywayz... on a serious note, sometimes that stuff gets misplaced or lost, since they are going to move your broken phone from bench to bench. Or they may just have a box sitting with no name on it... and soon as they get yours they put your name on the box and walla, a replacement.
I used to have a conscience about this kinda stuff but I learned as I got older they have millions of the accessories and would just send you one for the heck of it, if you called and asked nicely. True story... I have done this a lot.

Is my phone a refurbished? Please help!

I just bought a new phone from company and I have downloaded the app "Phone Info Samsung" in order to check the refurbishment. But it shows my phone is a refurbished one. After that, I downloaded another app and it shows my phone is original. Should I worry about my phone? I feel bad after seeing this. Sorry for my English.

I wouldn't think so, did you register it with Samsung for warranty and keep receipts of purchase?
if you did I don't really see it being a problem if the phone is in perfect condition
I'm of coarse the odd ball I don't care if mine is a refurb or not. If it works and no damage there is no difference. Orig refurb double refurb. They all work the same.
Some times a refurb can be better than the orig. Not saying this one is.

Yeah, I did. I kept it all, but I think Samsung would not do that to their customer. Because I bought it directly from Samsung company. I think that if it was a refurb, it would not come with the warranty card. Moreover, my phone is in perfect condition.

However i never get my phone wet, and don't plan to, but accidents happen and it's nice to be able to count on the water resistance. Maybe check with Samsung, I would.....it's your hard earned/saved money.

since it was bought directly from Samsung then the ip68 certification would be intact

One can only hope......I'd at the very least would want a discount on a "previously used device" If it is in fact refurbed the pricing should have reflected that. IMO

Here is one way to check whether your phone is refurbished or not: use a test code(##786#) at the Phone app. This can work for most of the Android phones.
